Easy Irish Tea Cake

Directions

1. 1
   Soak currants in the tea and add the brown sugar. Leave fruit overnight to soak.
2. 2
   Next day add the self-raising flour and the SR Flour and the lightly beaten egg.
3. 3
   Mix well with a wooden spoon and place into a greased and lined small loaf tin. I think these are also referred to as a bar tin.
4. 4
   Bake in a pre-heated moderate oven for about 1 hour. Turn out and cool.
5. 5
   Serve sliced and buttered. This loaf keeps very well for at least a week.
6. 6
   Cooking and prep time does not include overnight soaking of the currants.
